Why Mocktails Are Having a Moment—and 10 Delicious Drinks To Try
If getting healthy is your goal, every small step matters. And scaling back on alcohol is one that'll support your journey almost immediately.
“While you never have to give up your favourite foods and drinks at WeightWatchers, alcohol may not be the most supportive of your goals on a weight-loss journey. Unlike other sources of calories (like those from chicken, fruit, or whole grains), calories from alcohol don’t provide any nutritional benefit and when consumed in excess, alcoholic beverages can be linked to adverse health effects,” says Angela Goscilo, M.S., R.D., a registered dietitian and the senior manager of nutrition at WW.
